Alissa Nevita grew up in New York City, representing the borough of Queens, where she developed a love for sneakers. She grew up making visits to Jamaica’s Coliseum Mall, which, dominated as it was by sneaker shops, was the place to be on launch dates. As such she doesn’t just appreciate the culture, it’s part of her DNA. Her blog, ForTheKickOfIt, celebrates “girls, and their dope style when it comes to sneakers.” Nevita may be a young doe on the scene but her perspective on kicks and fashion is not just the here and now it’s also the future.
Her top five sneaker choices for the January-June period are:
- Nike + Riccardo Tisci Air Force 1 high
- Nike Roshe “Palm Trees”
- Adidas Originals “Luxury Pack” part 2
- Nike KD 6 EXT “Floral”
- Nike Air Max 1 “Air Max Day”
